DUST EXTRACTION SYSTEMS

DUST EXTRACTION SYSTEMS

SAFETY EFFICIENCY RELIABILITY These are the main characteristics RUPES takes into consideration when designing and building the full range of dust extraction systems. The result is the possibility to offer solutions for every requirement: from small extraction systems to large industrial applications with a 1.5 kw to 15 kw range of power ratings.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE EXTRACTION SYSTEMS ENERGY SAVING High efficiency extraction systems generate considerable energy savings in large industrial environments, assuring cost reduction throughout the production cycle. RUPES unique design of a double-pump with an inverter system creates significant energy savings in small, medium or large facilities. HIGH PERFORMANCE RUPES technology offers the customer the opportunity to achieve dust-control solutions while maximizing cost savings on energy, tools and abrasives. Our goal is to always achieve maximum dust-control efficiency while reducing time, material and energy costs. HEALTH PROTECTION A dust extraction system is the best choice for working professionally and safely. Dust extraction systems help provide a clean and healthful work environment. Dust generated during the sanding process can be extremely harmful to the technicians. An extraction system fitted with high-efficiency filters can almost totally eliminate the presence of airborne sanding residue. LESS MAINTENANCE Power tools used in conjunction with an efficient central vacuum require considerably less maintenance and reduce labor and downtime costs associated with repair. COST REDUCTION Power tools used in conjunction with central vacuum systems last considerably longer than those used in non-vacuum environments. A cleaner workplace results in lower maintenance costs on power tools of any kind. Abrasives last up to 40% longer when used with central-vacuum tools. Cleaner abrasives cut more efficiently, reducing the production cycle time and creating a higher quality finish that eliminates costly rework. LONGER TOOL LIFE Power tools operating in an environment that has reduced airborne contamination have much longer life than tools that work in dirty conditions. Further, dust that infiltrates the tool and comes into contact with its mechanical parts can change the tolerance of those parts and reduce the effectiveness of the tool.

PTFE FILTERS High quality materials - A cartridge filter made of a PTFE membrane is installed on every turbine. The high technological quality of the filtering material guarantees optimum extraction efficiency and performance in a number of applications. Larger filtering surface - The pleated structure of the filter allows a high filtering surface (up to 8 m 2 ) to be distributed over a single cartridge of small diameter (only 320 mm). ENDURANCE The PTFE membrane increases the endurance of the cartridge filter. The resistance of the material to compressed air jet cleaning cycles ensures that filtering performance remains the same over time. Lifetime and Strenght MAXIMUM HEALTH PROTECTION DUE TO ULTRA-HIGH EFFICIENCY CLASS M PTFE FILTERS PTFE filters are able to filter up to 99.9%, even when the dust is very fine with a size of 0.3μm. Variety of applications - The special structure of the PTFE filters reduces the risk of clogging. This makes the system especially versatile and effective in a variety of sanding applications, including plastic, metal, wood, composite, etc. The large filtering surface, designed specifically for the power of the turbine system, ensures the best filtration efficiency possible. STANDARD FILTER ANTISTATIC FILTER Maximum Efficiency HEALTH PROTECTION Class M PTFE filters with filtering surface up to HIGH EFFICIENCY + LARGE SURFACE = CLEAN AIR 8m 2 *Based on the standard EN 60335-2-69, use of hearing protection systems is required beyond this threshold.

CYCLONIC FILTRATION SYSTEM An efficient cyclonic system is the first step for excellent filtration. In the Rupes system, rotational motion and gravity are used to separate dust from air flow, without the use of filters. A tangential inlet and a metal plated that surrounds the filter cartridge protect the filter and force dust particles to decelerate. As the dust particles slow, gravity forces them to fall into the capture area of the container. The cyclonic system can filter up to 80% of the dust load, reducing stress on the PTFE filter cartridge and actually improving the already highly effective PTFE filter s efficiency. The cyclonic system can filter until 80% of dust load HIGH EFFICIENCY

ROTOR-JET SYSTEM The Rupes Rotor-Jet System is a rotary, compressed air cleaning system. A controlled rotary compressed air jet coming from inside the cartridge filter removes dust from the filtering surface. Running an automatic cleaning cycle while the turbine is in operation ensures that the filtration element is cleaned and that extraction stays at the highest level over time. High efficiency filter cleaning system HIGH PERFORMANCE

CONTROL PANEL An innovative system that monitors the filter status in real time gives the user an indication of the filtering efficiency and extraction performance of the turbine. An easy to read LED gauge provides information on: - how clean the cartridge filter is; - the efficiency of the automatic filter cleaning system; - the extraction efficiency of the entire turbine. With this information, if there are problems the user can take measures in advance to restore or improve the maximum filtering efficiency condition and in this way eliminate any costs for maintenance work on the turbine. POWER DISPLAY MENU DISPLAY FILTER CLEANING FILTER PERFORMANCE FILTER STATUS CONTROL The innovative control panel with built-in display provides all the information necessary for turbine operation and a handy tool that helps with maintenance operations (e.g. "FILTER CLEANING" button). FILTER OK WARNING LEVEL FILTER CHECK

PERFORMANCE Power range from 1.5 kw to 15 kw for all types of requirements Thanks to their high vacuum and delivery values, RUPES suction pumps ensure that top performance is maintained, even in the longest and most complex installations. HIGH PERFORMANCE SAFETY AND RELIABILITY The high degree of reliability of the new RUPES turbines is achieved by installing protection and safety devices. The preventive intervention of these devices cuts the risk of failures or repair work for the entire service life of the turbine. Using suction pumps with side channel technology guarantees great reliability and a long lifetime, up to 20,000 hours maintenance-free. Up to 20.000 hours maintenance-free LESS MAINTENANCE

FUNCTIONAL DESIGN Automatic filter drum lifting - The automatic system that lifts the filtering element when the front panel is opening allows the dust container to be easily removed. The amount of dust and the emptying of the container are controlled very quickly. EXTREMELY POWERFUL AND QUIET The use of acoustic insulation materials and devices for reducing noise guarantees a quieter workplace and a safer, more comfortable working environment. SILENCER SOUNDPROOFING PANELS NOISE DIAGRAM Simple installation - The new design makes installation and positioning of the turbine simple and quick.

STARTING The terminals offer a full range of operations that meet all remote extraction management requirements. Options available include both switch activated and tool activated systems. The automatic (tool-activated) control system is a perfect example of Rupes commitment to energy reduction and maximum efficiency during the production process. Extraction control TERMINAL VERSION Manual Auto Cut-Off Manual extraction starting Automatic extraction starting Automatic extraction starting with Cut-Off system CUT-OFF SYSTEM The Cut-Off system is used to maximise the output of centralized systems so as to improve extraction on the singular tools connected to it. Special valves automatically close the flow of suction for those tools that are temporarily disabled even though they are connected to the system. In this way the capacity of the extraction unit is divided up only between those tools that are actually working. This ensures that maximum extraction is always available on the single active work stations.

JUNCTION BOX, PIPES AND FITTINGS The purpose of the junction box is to connect the turbines to the service and control panels so that electricity, compressed air and suction are properly supplied. The extraction line is modular and can be easily adapted to any type of work area to create a tailor-made solution. A wide range of accessories, including pipes and fittings, are available to assist in the adaptation process.
